Twelve Years of Terrible Torture.

The gentleman who furnished us
with tho following certificate was for
years under treatment of many ply
sicians, and was dosed with all sorts
Of medicines, but without the least
beneficial effects Now, how he was
finally cured md relieved from his in
tcrnal suffering, is forcibly told in his
own statement given below, to which
we invite the earnest attention of all
sufferers from the same dreadful at
Fiction.
81 had been tortured sufferer
from artlcular and sciatic rheumatism
for more than dozen 'years--ap to
the year 1885. l had consulted WI
rious doctors and nsed multiform
remedies without relief, or any ap-
parent benefit. In 1885 was taken
afresh with the severest acute symp-
toms of this disease, in my feet and
legs and hips, which made me help
less invalid unable to work or walk
or help myself in any way. L was a
miserable, helpless sufferer, and with
out hope of ever being cured. l had
already exhausted my faith in doc
tors remedies, and now concluded to
take Swift's Specific us a forlorn
hope.
"From the use of the first two bot
ties, l felt greatly benefited, which
encouraged me to continue its use
1 steadily improved. The inilamma-
ton left my joints, the sciatica dis
appeared, comfortable feeling was re.
stored, my strength and flesh rein
stated, and by the time l had taken
two dozen bottles all my symptoms
of rheumatism had entirely disap.
peared, and l felt well enough to re-
sumo my regular labors. l felt like
new man. | cannot attribute my
miraculous and perfect cure to any
thing but the Swift Specific. know
that il alone cured me, for nothing
else had done me any good Tor twelve
years. l owe my restoration and
strength for labor and religious
duties alone to this grand remedy
anu gladly make this statement for
the benefit of all sufferers from this
most torluring Decentralization.

Germany, under tho Bismarcian

The ordinary law abiding English
man. when ut home, has no reason
for coming in contact with the police
from one year TO another, and prob
ably'lived in sublime Ignorance OF the
nearest police station. Not 80 in
Germany. Within three days OF his
arrival he is expected to call Mt the
police Offices and fill up form stat
ing his name, age, profession and re
ligion, whether he is married, single
or divorced, the object OF his visit and
how long no means to remain. Nor
is il only foreigners who are treated
in this inquisitorial manner. Every
person who changes his place OF resi-
dence must give immediate notice
thereof to the authorities; every ser
want girl who goes to new situation
must notify the fact to the police
and allow her service book-also n
compulsory institution-to be super
visod. Every dog must be taken to
the police station, medically eSamin-
ed, its address entered, and DO pro
vided With metal label to be worn
on the collar. 1t is ''polizeilch YER
boten" to have music in your house
after 10 o'clock without the consent
of ali the other tenants ; to take a
lighted candle in your own loft; to
put flower pots on your own window
sill; to sell strong beer after midday.
Every chimney must be swept once a
month by order by the government
(the sweep usually arriving for the
operation in the middle of the after
noon) and periodic visits are paid by
officials into every room to see that
the careless householder does not
stand his own furni ture too close to
the stove, thereby running the risk
of possible fire.
The whole drainage system, wretch
ed and unsanitary rs it is, is under
the supervision of the police. Need
less to say that tho hours for open
ing and closing shops and restaurants
are MI fixed by law, and, by a pecu-
liar stroke of one sided tyranny, the
tram cars are not allowed to run after

terfere with the cub monopoly. The
infraction of any of these rules. is
punished by strictly enforced fines,
nor must it be imagined that the Off
cials facilitate conformance to the
law Everything is left to the mi
tiative of the citizen, and the regula
tions as to tho days, hours, place OF

and SO constantly changed, that the
inexperienced foreigner may fire.

two officers in chorus; mo one can pass

and with determined effort she darted
under the ropes. In an instant four
stalwart officers had her in hand. She
was lifted over the ropes and once again
stood outside the lines.
You must obey the law" they said,
'or it may go hard with you"

care for the law, and my husband being
murdered. Shoot me; kill me, if you
will"
She finally succumbed and turned to
go. Her companions, with the excep-
ton of Mrs. Holmes, left her, but to-
gether the two women, with the little
children struggling behind, walked
down Clark street to KinZie and thence
around to Dearborn avenue. A crowd
of large proportions followed. She
needed them not. On she went until
she met another Gordon of police and
another rope. Her resistance was so
stubborn when opposed that Capt.
Buckley was at last compelled to order
her arrest. Every effort of gentle
restraint, persuasion, argument.
and entreaty was employed to no effect.

almost strange from the passage of
time. At one end of the store Mrs.
Engel sat with eyes
RED WITH WEEPING
and her face ShrOuded in black veil.
Eda Mueller, too, sat beside the caSket
which held all that remained of her
lover. Her face was as pale as death,
and she sobbed convulSively as the SYM
pathising friends filed in and out.
Further UP the avenue at No. sos is an
other undertaker's shop where the
bodies of Spies, Parsons and Fischer
were cared for. Mrs. ParsO MS was the
most noticeable person here. She sat
with her back to the window through
which hundred eager, curious eyes
peered. A woman clothed in black
with face covered by heavy veil held
Mrs. Parsons Glands. This was Mrs.
affected as were the anarchists wives. A
small bowed figure sat alone in corner
on low stool. 1t was Mrs. Spies, the
arch-anarchist'S mother. Her head was
buried in her hands and they were al
most in her lap. She rocked to and fro
in an agony of grief, strangely at yari-
ance with the actions of Mrs. Parsons,
who sat bolt upright and looked toward
where the body of her husband lay. Her
eyes were fixed in stony stare. They
were large and luStrOuS but seemed to
have lost the power of weeping. There
she sat, one hand claSped in that of the
woman next her, her lips moving as
though muttering some resolve, the thin
peaked dark features peering from be-
hind the mass of crepe and looking as
though there was something in the flu
ture to anticipate. Hers was striking
oil
the avenue, but they were composed o
IDLE CURIOSITY SEEKERS,
not of sympathizers with the anarchists
cause. There was little excitement,
and while groups of men stood on the
street corners and discussed the eXecu-
ton, there was not policeman in sight
or any apparent need of one. The only
sign of open interest was shown at the
Aurora Turn hall, on Huron street, near
Milwaukee avenue. Here flag was at
half-mast, and in the saloon below
groups of men gathered and expressed
their disapprOval of the hanging. There
were some scOwling faces here and the
stranger was not cordially greeted.
Clenched fists and ugly chances
told of the unpopularity of the
English press in the ''Turn

The embalmerS are still at work on the
bodies of Parsons and Fischer, and may
not complete their work until early'to-

being done by Prof. W. A. Sullivan, a
professional embalmer of Boston.
"Judging from the appearance of the

employees i'm full numbers in their places.
On exchange the day was more active
one than for several days past. Around
the jail was military scene, and the
crowd were impressed with it. Over
800 police, all
ARMED WITH REPEATING RIFLES,
kept guard of the streets a block away
from the jail Along Clark street, at
Michigan and Illinois, along Dearborn
street at Indiana, along State street. at
Illinois and Michigan and on Dearborn
at KinZie street ropes were run across
the street to keep the crowds back. It
was wise precaution, and was 9ai sue
cess. Early in the morning the police
were placed on guard, and as early as, s
O'Clock thousands OF people fingered
around the picket lines. 1t was plain
that the police intended no fooliShneSs,
and the crowd could see it at glance.
Dozens of officers with their repeating
rifles were stationed on top of the crimi-
nal court and surrounding buildings,
and they were instructed to watch every
avenue leading to the Jail. Of the hun
dreds of windows opening up on the
streets patrolled by the police there was
not one which was not watched with
Jealous eyeS-not one that could not
have been riddled with bullets had the
occasion required it. Luckily for the
history of the day not a trigger had to
be pulled-nOt an occasion was offered
for sending leaden bullet on a fatal

to another until 1880 O'Clock. Then
she made an effort to pass under the
rope and was prevented. At the next
corner she was put in patrol wagon
and taken to the station. She said she
was courteOusly treated, being placed
in the same room with Mrs. Holmes and
the children. Accompanied by the re-
porter, she walked sout on Clark street
to Indiana without apparently being
recognized by any one. Every moment
a newsboy would shove a paper in her
face, crying: Full account of the exc
cutiOn." She frequently broke down
and sobbed, and as they passed along
took her boy more firmly by the hand
and walked more rapidly, keeping her
head bent down.
